“Many people are going to believe it’s brand new because, for most intents and purposes, it is brand new,” said Steven Bauer of Frew Development Group during a site tour on Thursday of the complex. He pointed out the new arena seats already in place, wider and brighter concession areas and the upcoming installation of video boards. Bauer also said most of the system work has been completed.

“It’s actually a very well-orchestrated ballet and construction, just like many types of trades, relies on sequence,” said Bauer.
